I just got a COOL job!

I'm working this summer at Canobie Lake Park in Salem NH! http://www.canobie.com part time as a "ride operator" which basically means that I'll be, well, operating the rides! While the pay is not good ($7), it seems like a fun way to earn a few extra bucks to pay for my other hobbies .

Anyone here been to CLP?

And for those of you who know me, no, I am not leaving my other job either, just taking on a second job for the summer...

Congrats Wembley--my brother worked at an amusement park as a ride operator for two summers, and liked everything about it, except for being in the sun, dealing with the public, cleaning up after people who get sick on rides, the bad food, the parking problems....okay, he didn't really like it. But he made some good friends!

Punchcards, eh? Well, I can't say I ever heard about that, now it's a "pay once at the gate and ride all day" kinda thing. I'll have to ask about the punch cards, as I have been going to the park all my life and I don't remember them...

What's interesting is the number of places people tell me that they are from.... the other day I even had a family who came from NORWAY of all places! I had never met anyone from there before...
